I have this captain on the Thunderer, I felt like that is the appropriately silly ship. 
I'm using him on Exeter. Mon Dieu, is he as lucky as he is nuts...I have this captain on the Thunderer, I felt like that is the appropriately silly ship.
Unfortunately, I watched some Jingles video's.
This guy can rip anyone apart for gameplay. It's the Brit SNCO effect. Depressing.

This past weekend was a good one for me. The special bonuses and my generous use of signals boosts gave me enough XP to move to tier XIII; the Benson. It appears the only step up with the Benson is better torpedo range; the trade off is a few less tubes.
Personally I prefer the range. I like my IJN destroyers a lot because of their torp range and concealment, but I'm on a mission with the USN destroyers.
Its been a lot of fun. I play random only right now and I've had a decent win rate the past several days. Lots of fun.

Most of the replays he is getting are a combination of very lucky RNG and unforeseen events. Sometimes a perfectly average player can pull off a game of very high damage and match impact.
I sort of like Jingles but to be honest since the latest drama farming by the YTers I quit watching them.
Have you tried the EU destroyers? They are great for torp gameplay.
Otherwise my go-to destroyer is the Vampire II, surely its torps are not strong, but otherwise it offers a very good package.
Other than IJN and USN, I don't have any other mid tier DDs. I didn't play for a couple of years prior to a few months ago and only have limited RL time to play so I focus on the lines I had way back then, primarily USN (for now). When I started playing WoWs the main lines were IJN and USN with several other ships spread out amongst other Axis and Allied navies which is why I don't have anything other than a few low tier German, Russian, British, etc. etc. ships.
I like the Swedish ships. But, I suck as a DD captain.
I would like to cast "Banished To Tier 1 Co-Op For a Year" on Jingles.
EU DDs have mediocre concealment and the the torp alpha is weak. But they are quick, torps reload fast, have good enough guns to defend themselves and finally AA that actually works. T10 Halland is actually one of (if not outright) the best AA ships in game. Gameplay-wise your are relieved from overreliance of capping and smoke, that gameplay is getting T8+ exceedingly difficult as nowadays even BBs are getting radar.
If you are still at mid tier, these days it is easy to progress up to T6, so you might want to give it a spin. Plus low-tier gameplay is forgiving with the exception of T4 CV overflow.
But yeah, with casual timing progress in this game is glacial and not too rewarding.
I am also not the best with DDs. I can make Vampire II work because it is very similar to Huanghe/Perth cruisers at T6. Hell, actually the only gunboat I am both good with and enjoying too.
Having said that, recently I am spending more time suffering in DCS's F-16.

I have been having fun running Cap in HMS Exeter. Ramming is just too much fun...
Haha, good stuff. So you do not miss flying that thing? Wouldn't it be fun to flip the same switches, relive memories?
I had such a garbage run in WOWS for the past months that I decided to uninstall for a while. Yesterday's loss streak of three games sealed it.
Finished the 7 Provicien grind, and went straight to uninstall.
Don't miss it much. Besides, nowadays I want something with bathrooms..
Didn't grind for the dockyard. Not grinding for Russian CV's. Seemingly, Cap is my end-game content.

I guess one can get bored of anything, but flying IRL these things that are that can pull all those Gs and fly that fast... If it gives any comfort (probably not
), you guys were my childhood superheroes. I still have my posters and even signatures I've collected from pilots on a 1991 airshow, first of its kind with U.S. warplanes after the iron curtain was lifted. I was 11 back then and I even sat in the cockpit of an F-16A. I tried to play CVs on the principle that they are OP, but it was so boring I could not bring myself to get good with them.
I did the dockyard because it sort of gave purpose, various missions so that I played ships I have otherwise not played a long time, then I only finished to salvage the time sunk into the whole process.
I have not tried any of the new stuff so far except the UI changes (no dockyards stuff atm, etc.). I've been enjoying my battles so far.
I'll have 2 and 3 game losing streaks periodically, but if I can get a good win or two I'm satisfied. I only play 3-5 games a day and if I lose 2 of 3 (or heaven forbid a 3 loss streak), I'll quit for the day/night. I'm in it for the XP in the USN DD line so wins still get me some XP as long as I play well. I know I'll be burned out if I persevere to get a Gearing, but I'm going to try.
I play my Colorado, New Orleans, Fubuki, Mogami, and Helena to break up the monotony. I could buy an Amiga or Ibuki now, but I have to save money for future purchases.

Nah, I juts had a long march of deteriorating winrate and way too predictable losses, and that final session sealed my plan to take a break. Too many lopsided matches when either my team would have won without me or when my team would lose regardless whatever I do. Possibly it is a bit of burnout from my end too... will be back sooner or later!
Colorado is a great ship. The Tillman BBs are ridiculed, but I have my damage record in Minnesota and I love the Vermont despite being unlucky with it. The heavy salvo volumes make up a lot of the otherwise inconsistent BB gameplay. So if you like Colorado, you may take Kansas next ilo the NC (which is not that good as Colorado or the others, but again the Vermont is just so much fun). Take adrenaline rush captain skill for them, as you take damage it shaves off a lot from the guns reload.
Amagi is also very much recommended, has a very well armored aft, so you can play it like reversing into the opponent team, bounce their shells while you have 3 turrets at the back, and kiting out is always an option - definitely a strong ship at its tier, miles better than the miserable Bismarck. I actually bought Kii, its premium sister ship (mostly on free dubs, spent $10 max on it) with torps and good AA. Plus, Amagi ends up with Yamato which is still a good ship, whereas Mogami ends with the Zao which is not bad, just has better alternatives.
If you like Mogami though, I recommend to start with the Italian cruisers too, their SAP is great and the line gets really strong from tier 7. German cruisers are also great, somewhat better armor and great HE pens, play similarly as well.
Be careful not spending coal at the moment as the current coal ship selection is pretty poor. At this point I'd recommend the Moskva, or perhaps the Salem, but at best just save it for better ships.

Wargaming is gearing up for Halloween events. Also, some tech tree ships are going premium and being replaced.
They are also teasing an auction style event for discontinued ships, format unknown.
Subs are not a success- surprise, Wargaming is keeping them.

Quit it, that makes us average blokes what then?
Read the news, interesting direction the game is heading to, especially the de-facto tier XI ships they have announced. That tier will make lower tiers with simple gameplay mechanics even more appealing.
Smarter than me...Quit it, that makes us average blokes what then?
